I never found a pair of goggles that worked for me. I ruin my glasses by running over them. Your glasses will be fine. Well, almost certainly fine. I'd use an older/spare pair. The playa's rough on stuff, but you don't actually need to see as fine as you do in the outside world... Or I never did.

First, bring some canned air, and spray off the dust from your goggles before even attempted to wipe them down and smear that dust around. If that isn't enough, what works for me is to use a wet-wipe on the surface to get the dust and stuff off, and then using a dry wipe to forcibly wipe off the moisture. If you don't dry, you get these ugly dried out drops on the lenses. I do this on sunglasses; it should work fine on prescription glasses.

Also, glasses shouldn't really get scratched any more than they would anywhere else. While there is ferocious wind, the dust in the area is about the consistency of talcum powder. It isn't coarse/hard enough to do real damage to glass or acrylic lenses under normal circumstances, though if you wipe at it too aggressively you might create some minor swirled distortions (use a can of compressed air to clean them).

These are the ones I made for 2013. I bought prescription auto-tinting sunglasses with perfectly round lenses, and then 3D printed adapter rings to hold the lenses inside a set of cheap brazing goggles. I need to fine-tune the lens distance and angle, but it was perfectly usable and pretty neat. The rest of the time I wore prescription sunglasses. Ordering this stuff online is great, I splurged on wraparound prescription sunglasses and paid about $80, but you can get a bunch of spare glasses for the playa for like $10 each.
